first time root question regarding smoked glass

New guy here, name is Keith btw.
So I did some research but obviously not enough, I'm getting what appears to be denied permission messages when trying to install sprecovery to my droid. I also am getting failed installation messages when doing the "hold down x" manuver. I think my problem is the superuser file I'm using so my question is, where is the update.zip file that is appropriate for this ROM? The links in the smaked glass instructions are dead links. Shoujld I be ujsing the superuser ninja app and if so where do I get it? I know these are beginner questions but I am a beginner
Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Should I be using ese81 or whatever? Should I root it with rsdlite as opposed to how the instructions say for smoked glass? Does it matter how I root it so long as I get sirpsychos sprecovery? And bump
